It's safe to remove and Windows will re-make any keys in there on its own. It helps remove allot of rubbish one-off file extension keys.

Example:

If unpacking an icon package that also has MAC OS extensions for icons that Windows can't use those extensions end up going into FileExts and clogging the registry, after awhile allot of rubbish ends up in there.

Are you sure? Everything seems in order on my local copy, and on the download page.

True enough that I am missing the \accounts\ portion, but it should world all the same.

Damn, why do you always have to be right!

Your edit does work as it should. My apologies.

I have games installed to G:\ and neglected to edt before testing.

Please accept this as my Modified entry:

Also not sure win8 app need detectOS (yet) as the detected directory will (read should) only appear in Windows 8 and those detect do seem to work on an "and" basis as when I uninstalled BingTravel it disappeared from my ccleaner even though I was still on detectOS-defined-OS.

May be my mistake, left over from before app specific Detects where added.

My thoughts on the DetectOS thing are, I imagine, that when CCleaner sees DetectOS=6.2, on say windows 7, it doesn't even bother looking at the rest of the entry. Probably some miniscule speed boost. I'd have to run tests to actually be sure.
